Notwithstanding these assurances, in July 1922 the British partitioned the area of the Palestine Mandate by excluding the area east of the Jordan River from Jewish settlement. That land, 76% of the original Palestine Mandate land, was renamed Transjordan and was given to the Emir Abdullah to rule.<br />See: http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_whitepaper_1922.php<br /><br />Fact is that all our problems today in the ME derive from that fateful deceitful decision.HolylandIsraelTourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737169920734662636noreply@blogger.com
